Personal Statement

I love coming to work every day to serve families and help them meet their children's emotional and behavioral needs. As a parent myself, I feel honored to be trusted in caring for our world's most precious resource, our children. I also believe that health care needs to be convenient and accessible and feel passionate about building primary care behavioral health services across Texas Children's. When I'm not in clinic, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my grown children, playing all sorts of sports and being outside, surfing, paddling or hiking.
